Bloggers Summit in Madrid

...oh! well, not a crowded
one (just two of us) ...but consider the high quality of the meeting
attendants! :-)

Yes, our famous Canadian
blogger Curt from Analogue
Hobbies stopped by Madrid in his spring European tour visiting the UK, the
Netherlands and France and we both have the opportunity to share some locally
made beer and tapas (no Rioja this time!).

Curt is an active and very
respected blogger and a fellow member of the Lardite brotherhood, also very well
known for organising a global annual painting contest (recently concluded in its fourth edition). If you
(unlikely) has not visited his blog yet, don't waste your time: a must for any
wargaming aficionado and you'll find
the quality of both content and photos a source of endless inspiration to your
games and painting work.

Although this was the first
time we met face to face, it was like if we have known each other from long
ago. Actually this has been an unexpected bonus of my blogging activity: the
strong bonds emerging from our shared interests the hobby... and the impressive
ability of the social media to establish links among people separated by
continents and oceans!

It was a similar experience
when I visited Salute in 2012 and met the Lard crowd at the Fox’s or when Steve
from Norseygamer (another
Lardista!) stopped at Madrid briefly when touring the Iberian Peninsula’s
Napoleonic battlefields.

So if any you blog
readers happened to come to Madrid, do not hesitate a minute to contact me and I’ll make
my best to share some drinks and tapas in my city and/or organise a game in our local club.

I've nominated you for a Liebster Award on my own blog btw and I hope you take that in the spirit intended. Obviously if you've already been nominated, don't feel that you have to go through it all over again.

Excellent... I agree its great what the internet has done to make the world a smaller place and a chance for these friendships to blossom... great pic too, cant help but think; "It comes in pints!? I'm having one!"...
